Morning Presentation: "A Look at Story Structure."
Story structure is one of those things you know you need in story, but you may not know how to make work. In this presentation, you will learn what story structure is, how it works, and see a full deconstruction of the story structure for the bestselling novel, Remember Me by Sophia Kinsella. Reading the novel prior to the event is encouraged but not required.
